Mud and Slime — Dad’s Office After The Flood

Mud and Slime — Dad’s Office After The Flood

Dad got in his office yesterday.  Here are some pictures of his beautiful office in a great part of downtown.  (Only it looks a little muddy right now.)

Mom’s desk is behind this window.  Normally you can see her cute little face when you walk past, but not so much after all that water.  I cannot believe how high it got…I cannot believe it.

The conference room’s window, broken out from the force of the water.

This is the inside of Dad’s conference room.  The mud left creative swirlies on the walls which, in all honesty, it would have been nicer not to have.  There’s strange brown sludge and goo from who knows where all over the floor.

There definitely used to be wall where you can see through to that large open space.  The flood waters broke out the windows in that suite next to Dad’s office and came charging through with such force that they busted the wall.  Jerks.

That’s Dad’s office…his credenza usually sits on top of his desk, and he’s never messy.

Ten bucks says this fan doesn’t work anymore.  It’s kind of amazing that it’s still sitting on Dad’s desk after everything.  (Oh, and that’s a thick layer of mud that you see coating everything.  Dad’s desk is cream/white on top.)

Mom’s desk…and can you see that water line?  Amazing.  And horrible.

What a muddy mess…

The kitchen area

This used to be a computer monitor.  Now I just think it is trash.

The good news is that all of Dad’s files stayed dry, the water never reached the mezzanine.  (WHEW!)  So that’s one good thing.  I wish I could be there to help clean up…too bad Texas is so far away from Iowa.

I'm always willing to talk about infertility. Diagnosis: Stage 4 Endometriosis (plus a few other bonus things) I'm live in Indiana. I enjoy reading and going for walks in the evening. I get my news from NPR. Someday I want to be a guest on Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me. I love backpacking, hiking, canoeing and survival camping. I'm a big fan of weekends. My bike's name is Thunder. I'm a youth pastor's wife. I dig cows. I don't handle stress well. I'm not good at fishing; I talk too much. Cooking and baking are my favorite. I love hanging out with my girlfriends!

  1. Wow, Jenna. You win when it comes to amazing and horrible flood pictures. I can’t believe the water level was so high! It’s amazing that you can see the line so clearly where it was! We’ll be praying for your family as they get things back in order! Yikes…that’s got to be A LOT of work!
